Millions of Brits have no idea where drinks like tea, beer, coffee, and Champagne come from - with some convinced they're UK creations.
A poll of 2,000 adults found 64 per cent were unaware tea typically comes from China – with 10 per cent believing the UK is its birthplace. Similarly, 71 per cent aren't aware of coffee's origins and 25 per cent don't know Champagne comes from France. More than a quarter don’t know which country invented Coca-Cola and 29 per cent have no idea where sangria was created.
The place food and drink comes from is important – if a consumer seeks ‘authentic produce’ they expect it to be just that, but unfortunately this isn’t always the case. “Within our industry specifically, products can appear to be brewed and bottled abroad when actually they’re made in the UK. So to be sure you’re getting what you expect, whether that’s beer or other produce, always check the label.
